Lae has 154 out of the province’s cumulative total of 167.
In a press briefing on Monday afternoon, Governor Ginson Saonu said apart from the 154 cases in Lae, Nawaeb has recorded eight, Markham and Bulolo with two each and Huon Gulf district has one.
The districts of Menyamya, Finschhafen, Tewae-Siassi and Kabwum are currently COVID-19 free.
“This does not mean the districts with no cases are not immune to COVID-19, but rather, it is most likely less tests are done in those places due to resources constraints,” stated Saonu.
